Throughout history, members of Naval Mobile Construction Battalions, "Seabees" have been revered for their ability to quickly transform terrain, pave airstrips, build bridges and construct bomb-proof compounds- and fight to the death all the while. Seabees were a tremendous asset to the Marine Corps, as they were fierce warriors and provided a tactical approach to warfare construction. Many times Seabees and Marines were the first troops into combat zones and first responders against Separatist attacks on helo pads, airfields, roads, and bridges.
MK II "Hatchet" Multipurpose Tactical Construction Hardsuits were the workhorses of the Naval Mobile Construction Battalions during The War. Although they were designed for construction, MK II's had a light grade plate armor- which was just enough to withstand small arms fire. They also featured fully rotatable arms, capable of lifting and moving tremendous burdens. Though not designed for combat, MK II's (and the Seabees who operated them) were deployed within enemy territory and forced to defend themselves, often with many casualties.

LSDH 91 "Sargento Aldea"
Multipurpose vessel of the Chilean Navy, designed for amphibious landings, cargo and personnel transport, hospital ship and helicopter carrier. Originally designed and built for the French Navy and named Foudre, it was sold to Chile in 2011. It was renamed "Sargento Aldea" in honor of one of the heroes of the Naval Combat of Iquique. The LSDH 91 is 168 in length and 23.5 meters in beam, 12,000 tons at full load. Its base port is Talcahuano, it has been used in multiple aid operations in remote areas of Chile, as well as in the humanitarian mission of the UN in Haiti, in which Chile participated.
This is a 1: 200 scale model, 84 cm long, approximately 4000 pieces. When opening the aft hatch, two landing craft can be stored and deployed. It has a side hatch and operational ramp for the entry of vehicles. On the Zulu deck there are several cargo trucks, a tanker and two UN Mowag 8x8 painted white.
On the Alfa deck there are 4 helicopters, two Cougars and two Dauphin.
Among the details that can be seen are the radars and antennas, cargo crane, lifeboats, four anchors (two in the bow and two in the stern), cargo area control tower, helicopter alpha deck control tower, control bridge, Simbad / Mistral missile system, 30 mm cannons (x3) and machine guns.
The most difficult part of the construction of the model was to shape the bow, I wanted its curvature to be as real as possible. The alpha and zulu flight decks were too gray and monotonous, so it was essential to give them variety and color by adding helicopters and trucks. I hope in a next visit to Talcahuano to take a picture of my model next to the real ship.

An artist's concept shows the Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle and future destinations for human exploration beyond Earth orbit: the moon, an asteroid and Mars.
NASA has selected the design of a new Space Launch System that will take the agency's astronauts farther into space than ever before, create high-quality jobs here at home, and provide the cornerstone for America's future human space exploration efforts. The booster will be America’s most powerful since the Saturn V rocket that carried Apollo astronauts to the moon and will launch humans to places no one has gone before.
The SLS will carry human crews beyond low Earth orbit in the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle. The rocket will use a liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen fuel system, where RS-25D/E engines will provide the core propulsion and the J-2X engine is planned for use in the upper stage.

Built for the Tribute to Nnenn challenge over in the starfighters group. The truck is based off of this starship by Nnenn, and the starfighter that can be attached to the back is based on this ship.
Nnenn was always such an inspiration for me, and I thought it would be a lot of fun turning one of his starships into a ground vehicle!

Το εργοστάσιο Λιπασμάτων της Δραπετσώνας ήταν βιομηχανική μονάδα της ανώνυμης ελληνικής εταιρείας Χημικών προϊόντων και Λιπασμάτων του οποίου η κατασκευή ολοκληρώθηκε τον Οκτώβριο του 1910.
Σήμερα βρίσκεται σε κατάσταση απόλυτης εγκατάλειψης. Πέντε δήμοι της περιοχής ζητούσαν την ανάπλαση και απόδοσή του ως χώρου αναψυχής για τους κατοίκους, οι οποίοι παλαιότερα υπέφεραν από την δραστηριότητά του.
Εν τέλει, ο ενιαίας χώρος γύρω από τις εγκαταστάσεις αξιοποιήθηκε και δημιουργήθηκε ο "Πολυχώρος Λιπασμάτων", με χώρους άθλησης και ψυχαγωγίας, προσβάσιμο από όλους τους πολίτες

The Drapetsona Fertilizer Factory was an industrial unit of the Greek Chemical and Fertilizer Societe Anonyme, the construction of which was completed in October 1910.
Today it is in a state of complete abandonment. Five municipalities in the area demanded its renovation and return as a recreation area for the residents, who previously suffered from its activity.
In the end, the open space around the facilities was utilized and the "Fertilizer Multipurpose Center" was created, with sports and entertainment areas, accessible to all citizens.

Grand Canyon is a large multipurpose offshore construction vessel (OSV) capable of performing a variety of subsea activities such as jet trenching and heavy soil trenching. The high manoeuvrability and station keeping capabilities of the vessel allow it to operate even in adverse climatic conditions.
Norwegian ship-builder Bergen Group received the order for construction of the Grand Canyon from Volstad Maritime in December 2010. The keel of the vessel was laid in August 2011. The construction was carried out at Fosen in Rissa, Sør-Trøndelag.
The hull of the vessel was manufactured by Tersan Shipyard in Turkey.
The hull was launched in January 2012 in the presence of the Norwegian Prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg. It was then towed to Bergen Group's shipyard in Norway for final outfitting.
Grand Canyon was delivered in November 2012 having completed sea trials in October. The new build was financed by three Norwegian finance groups - Garanti-instituttet for eksportkreditt (GIEK), Export Credit Norway (Eksportkreditt) and SpareBank 1 SMN.
The vessel is currently on a five-year charter with Canyon Offshore, a company owned by Helix Energy Solutions Group.
Features of Volstad's new offshore construction vessel
Grand Canyon is built according to the ST 259 CD design developed by the Norwegian ship designer Skipsteknisk. The vessel carries DNV's 'Clean Design' notation for its eco-friendly operation.
The vessel boasts a dynamic positioning (DP) Class-3 control system for automatic positioning and heading. She can be deployed for use in shallower depths because of her modest draught.
In order to carry out subsea installation, burial support operations and general offshore construction work, the vessel is provided with a working platform that is stable and has a large capacity. Jet trenching can be performed from the ship's forward port side, while soil trenching can be carried out from the aft of the vessel.
The vessel features two indoor remotely operated vehicle (ROV) hangars, which can be prepared for the deployment of up to five work-class ROVs (WROV). The ROVs can be deployed to a depth of 3,000m.
A carousel reel-drive system is installed below the ship's deck which is able to lay power cables, pipelines and umbilicals into the trench at the seabed. Once placed, these cables or pipelines can be buried below the surface of the sea to a depth of up to 9m with the help of the ROVs.
The under-deck has enough strength to bear the load of heavy equipment, which allows the crew to finish mobilisation and demobilisation operations in shorter times.
Main dimensions and accommodation
The dead weight of the vessel is 7,000t, while gross and net tonnages are 12,652t and 3,796t respectively. She has an overall length of 127.75m, a moulded breadth of 25m and scantling draught of 7.5m. The length between perpendiculars is 114.6m, and the deck area is 1,650m².
The Grand Canyon accommodates up to 104 people in single and double cabins. Facilities onboard the vessel include a meeting room, internet café, reception, sauna, gym, coffee house and hospital.
The vessel is equipped with two cranes, including an active heave compensated (AHC) offshore crane, the MacGregor HMC 4240. The crane has a safe working load of 250t at 10m outreach capacity. The second crane is the MacGregor HMC 2201 model and can lift 15t at 20m outreach.
Grand Canyon is powered by a diesel-electric propulsion system. The ship is fitted with six six-cylinder Wärtsilä 32 main engines. Each engine generates 2,880kW of power at 720rpm and drives a NES generator (NEGR 710 LB10 model) rated at 3,450kVA. In addition, there is a nine-cylinder Wärtsilä 20 emergency generator of 1,665kW capacity and a Mitsubishi S6R-MTPA harbour generator of 595kW capacity.
Propulsion is provided by two electric motors of 2,500kW each. Side thrusters comprise six Wärtsilä tunnel thrusters, each with 2,000kW of power. Four of the thrusters are mounted forward and the other two are mounted aft.

An Alternative-History Luftwaffe PDW.
Mehrzweck-Flug-Gewehr, MFG-46
The MFG-46 is a PDW designed and manufactured for the Luftwaffe. MFG-46 PDWs are issued to paratroopers, bomber crews, and pilots. The weapon fires a modified version of the 7.92x57mm Mauser round, with a 3.5mm heavy metal penetrator. It is designed to be able to fire through armoured aircraft skin, allowing shot-down pilots maximum firepower while still inside the cockpits of their aircraft. The round can pierce light vehicle armour.
The weapon is recoil-action, fully automatic only. Fire rate however is low, around 300RPM. Quick trigger squeezes will only fire one round. While there is no safety, the weapon is intended to be kept in a sheath, with no round in the chamber. The trigger is heavy and single-stage. To charge, pull back the handle on the right hand side of the gun. Magazines are integral to the weapon and are not removed in combat. Reloading is done by swinging out the magazine and replacing the 12 round clip.
Materials used are almost 100% steel, mostly stamped and welded.
Effective range is fairly low, full penetration will not occur after 150m. Maximum combat range is 300m, due to short barrels. To swap barrels, turn the barrel securing ring to the front of the receiver a total of 8 revolutions. Hand tighten only.
Marks (H1/2/3) are attributed only to the barrel system. The reciever of the gun stays identical throughout variants, and the stock can be folded or removed entirely.
H1 Marks are standard, 10" barrel with bayonet lug.
H2 Marks are improved models, with twin pistol grips, and a short 6" barrel.
H3 Marks are handgun models, with a 6.3" barrel and simplified heat shield.
Weighing in only a few hundred more grams than an MP-40, the MFG-46 is a very lightweight weapon.
A1 Infantry: 4.2kg
A2 Paratroop: 4.2kg
A3 Specialist: 3.8kg
---
Thought I'd try to come up with something that was going to be completely unique for this contest. Still a PDW, though a rather large one due to it having to penetrate modern body armour at 150m+. Good luck to all who are taking part!

Nyctea is a big multipurpose UAV designed with stealth in mind. Depending on a variant it can be either "naked" - without any stealth coating, or with it - all black and much more expensive.
Although it is mostly used for recon missions, it performs well as a nighttime stealth strike aircraft. It's two electric motors with specially designed props make Nyctea almost silent in flight, which makes it even harder to find in the night sky.
In direct combat it is very vulnerable, but it specific role as a night predator makes Nyctea one of the most feared vehicles in use by NCM.

I'm not very good at making complicated shapes. Especially when it gets to aerial vehicles and their aerodynamic surfaces.
So this is kind of a practice build - I wanted to go outside my comfort zone of simple SNOT techniques and try to build more complicated wings. Well, it could've been better, but I like the result.
More pics - as promised.

Viking Princess machinery and propulsion
Viking Princess is equipped with Wärtsilä’s gas electric propulsion system featuring the low loss voncept (LLC). Instead of four main engines, the vessel is outfitted with two large and two small dual-fuel engines. The larger ones are six-cylinder in-line 34DF engines, each rated at 2,610kW. The smaller ones are six-cylinder 20DF engines, each rated at 1,056kW. Each of them is driven by Alconza main generators (2 x 2,510kW and 2 x1,014kW).
Emergency generator sets include a Volvo Penta D12 engine of 339kW capacity and a Stamford generator of 375kVA.
Propulsion is provided by two Steerprop Sp 35 CRP azimuth propellers, each of 2,450kW. A set of two Brunvoll bow thrusters, each of 1,000kW, and an azimuth thruster of 880kW allow the vessel to manoeuvre smoothly.
After the fall of the Greco-Roman Federation, a small group of the Federation's top VCS engineers managed to escape to the West-African Company, an ambitious military manufacturer. The engineers brought with them plans for a new lightweight VCS prototype. The WAC quickly rushed the new system into production, and soon were selling them to the various insurgent forces throughout northern Africa. Reports show that some of the larger insurgent groups may be forming a makeshift government in order to take down the URE.
The WAC-LVCS01, more commonly known as the Gremlin, was originally designed as a cheap VCS for use against infantry and light armor, similar to the URE's Hornet. However, the system exceeded expectations, and has proved more than a match for larger VCS due to its mobility and firepower. In addition to a basic rifle, most Gremlins come equipped with a multipurpose backpack, which contains two "System Buster" manual-use warheads, and a light bazooka, as well as a long-range comms antennae. Extra ammunition for the bazooka is stored on the backpack, and extra clips for the rifle are found on a cable around the waist.
This one was interesting to build, I started out building the design around a new shoulder joint that would allow the arms to swing forward, and it evolved from there. It's definitely pretty fun to play around with, especially the extra weapons. It does look kinda weird without the backpack, though.
